This was one question i found interesting in that 12 Rounds questionnaire. How much do you enjoy seeing superstars making appearances in things like movies and TV?

Personally, i'm usually not a fan of seeing superstars outside the ring. I much rather seeing them stick with what they're best at. I'm not entirely sure why. Maybe because i prefer to see them as sportsmen than actors, and i'm sure i'd hate to see my favourite footballer trying to act in something. PLus the material they get is almost always B grade material for B celebrities.

Another reason i hate it is the vignettes that WWE will shove down your throat to the point of overkill. We've definitely seen in with 12 rounds. I'd rather see a backstage segment than a film trailer.... again... and again... and again.

Also, i guess another factor is there's always examples like The Rock, whp had so much more to give to wrestling but left to make a movie career. I'm happy for him, but it's never good to see as a wrestling fan.

Same, but instead of SNL (which I HATE) I like to see them on MadTV. Edge did it once and that was a great show to watch. Edge was too funny.

However, I feel bad when top wrestlers go on shows and the audience is DEAD. They're like "Edge who" and give no cheer when his name is announce or whatnot. It's very uncomfortable and I actually pity them since they're so huge in WWE, but when it comes to regular folk, they're just not. >.<;

Personally I love when they go on talk shows, you see how they are in real life. We have a show here in Canada called Off The Record and some great wrestlers have been on this show, and hte host Michael Landsberg ask great questions and these guys aren't afraid to answer them which is great. But on other hand some of them should just stick to wrestling.

Agreed, that's a brilliant show. I've watched whatever i can from it on youtube and it's one of the few instances i enjoy seeing wrestlers outside of wrestling.

What i love about it most is the hard hitting questions that Landsberg asks and, like you said, the superstars aren't afraid to answer. It seems like you get the true story of what's happening behind the scenes on it, and that can be hard to get in Vince McMahon's world of wrestling
